A COTTAGE IN THE CARPATHIANS
Such relics of the days when the Transylvanian peasant's lot was almost as hard as that
of the Russian serf are now being replaced by more commodious homes. This is a cottage in
Trascau, one of the "Szekler," or Hungarian, colonist villages established in Transylvania by
the kings of Hungary some 700 years ago (see, also, text, page 319).
